FEATURES FOR THE WEEK

Monday 12/09/02
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH SUZANNE CIANI
In her Marin County home overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Mount Tamalpais, Suzanne Ciani performs live on Echoes. She started out as an avant-garde electronic composer, came to renown for commercial jingles and sound effects, and helped launch New Age music. Now Suzanne concentrates on her piano music, releasing PIANISSIMO III (Seventh Wave) her third album of unaccompanied solos. We captured Suzanne on a glorious Northern California day, seated at her grand piano, playing music born in the view right outside her windows.

RUDY ADRIAN: AWASH IN AMBIENCE
Rudy Adrian has led a sheltered life. Growing up in New Zealand, the synthesist actually thought he created ambient music. He's discovered otherwise since his music has been drifting out into the world from his island homeland. We talk with Rudy Adrian about his New Zealand ambiences.

ECHOES CD OF THE MONTH
A WINDHAM HILL CHRISTMAS
The songs are familiar carols, but A WINDHAM HILL CHRISTMAS retains the WINDHAM HILL WINTER SOLSTICE tradition of unusual arrangements and performances that evoke the mood of the season, especially if your take on that mood is a Northeast, snow-covered landscape like that depicted on the Hallmark card cover. The usual bevy of Windham Hill sampler artists are all here, with often innovative arrangements of traditional Christmas music. A Windham Hill Christmas is our CD of the Month for December.

The BEST OF ECHOES 2002: LISTENERS CHOICE
The ballots are in and counted and on this show we unveil the Top 25 CDs for 2002 from the listeners of Echon Echoes, a music soundscape from P-R-I, Public Radio International on Echoes. This special two hour show will play a track from each CD. This year the choices are less obvious than most so anything could happen.


Friday 12/13/02
PHILIP GLASS: SCORING THE APOCALYPSE
Twenty years ago, composer Philip Glass and director Godfrey Reggio lighted up the screen with Koyaanisqatsi, a non-narrative film that explored the rapid change in life we're experiencing. Driven by Philip Glass's kinetic, melodic score, the film was a unique marriage of music and visuals. Now they've released the third part of their trilogy, NAQOYQATSI (Sony Classical). It's an even more harrowing view of the world that posits the idea that technology rules us more than we rule technology. Glass and Reggio explore the themes of their trilogy, which has taken on a different light in a post 9-11 world.
